PADI Advanced Open Water
Advance Your Diving with Great American Divers
The Advanced Open Water Diver course is designed to help you become a more confident, capable, and comfortable diver—while having a lot of fun along the way. At Great American Divers, this course is about experience, exploration, and discovering what kind of diver you want to be.
You’ll sharpen essential skills like underwater navigation and peak performance buoyancy, experience the excitement of deep diving, the thrill of wreck diving, and the art of deploying a DSMB, with the option of adding on a night diver specialty—think of it as a “sampler platter” of specialties. Whether you’re curious about wrecks, night diving, photography, or something else, you get to experience 5 different specialties within this course.
Even better, each adventure dive you complete can count as credit toward a full PADI® Specialty certification, making this a great stepping stone in your continuing dive education.
Dive deeper, explore more, and grow your skills alongside instructors who know you and support your goals—this is where your diving truly levels up.
